[QUOTE="Phil800101, post: 292628, member: 12140"] It depends too upon whether you work at a hub or a local center. A local center deals with shipping to/from a localized (sometimes very large) area, centered around the famous brown package cars. Preload (early am) unloads trailers and loads these cars, while reload (late afternoon/evening) generally does it in reverse, unloading cars and loading trailers. Hubs deal primarily with trailers (be they over-the-road or sent by rail); sorting and transferring packages from one trailer to another, for shipment to another hub or to a local sort. There are more jobs in a hub, and a greater variety of jobs as well, not to mention more shifts. But, as I understand it you will pretty much start out either loading or unloading trailers. It is also of note that hubs usually have a local center contained somewhere within the hub or on the hub grounds, but the work there is essentially the same as at any other local center. Anyway, just some other info to consider. What's been said on here so far is pretty solid. [/QUOTE]
